Brief Summary:
Investigators will use Axumin PET/CT to help with the imaging modalities to determine the presence of occult retroperitoneal disease.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Testis Cancer Germ Cell Tumor Testicular Cancer Germ Cell Tumor of Testis Germ Cell Tumor, Testicular, Childhood Testicular Neoplasms Testicular Germ Cell Tumor Testicular Yolk Sac Tumor Testicular Choriocarcinoma Testicular Diseases Germ Cell Cancer Metastatic Germ Cell Neoplasm of Retroperitoneum Germ Cell Cancer, Nos Drug: Axumin PET scan

Detailed Description:
Investigators aim to perform a prospective study of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT in patients with NSGCT prior to RPLND, either in the primary setting or in the post-chemotherapy setting. We will correlate histopathologic outcomes from the RPLND specimen and clinical outcomes of recurrence during follow-up to identify the accuracy of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT in these settings.
